GREGORY CLARKE There are many things one could say after spending eight years at Selwyn House, but most of them would be unsuitable for printing. CHRISTOPHER CREIGHTON Passing Thought: Let's all move one place on. Favorite Quotation: Where shall I begin, please your Majesty? he asked. Begin at the beginning, the king said, gravely, And go on till you come to the end: then stop. DAVID W.H. DALY 'Don't get depressed when you read in the press About world revolution and social unrest Try not to panic when you switch on the news And see crooked politicians and the unemployment queus lt's only life - it's really fine So don't you believe all you read in the headlines Live life see it through Carry on - it's all you can do You gotta live life for yourself Can't live life for anyone else You gotta live life, that's all you do Nobody gonna live their life for you So long Selly! -R.D. Davies 1The Kinksj -Lewis Carroll

DUNCAN BAIRD Rather than to sacrifice this ink in the questionable cause of self- celebration, I humbly offer it as follows - To Mike, Ali, Clive, Glen, Steve, David, Lawrence, and Chris of THE IM- PORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST in congratulations and thanks for a great show, And to D.M. and D.W., co-founders of Phase 5 and origional authors of this grad note, whose material was so tyrannically overthrown in favour of this: I woke up this morning Don't believe what I saw A hundred billion bottles Washed up on the shore Seems I'm not alone in being alone -The Police GARTH BARRIERE A Selwyn House student for ten years, but no academic prizes or athletic trophies. This small, white space is my only mark. CONFUSION An unexplainable hurt Being a star in an empty World! -MY ode to Selwyn House Farewell. RALPH BEAVERIDGE I was afraid of Ralph in grade seven. I once told him he was stupid and he picked me up by the chin and pushed my face through a wall. But that was obviously my fault. I was a jerk to be afraid of Ralph because he was, is, a friendly guy. In five years at Selwyn, he never tried to hate anybody. Then again, think of the many defensive linesmen Ralph has blown over playing snap for the best high school offence in Montreal. Think of the heads he's dented with the bodies of the op- position in hockey, playing with a questionable style, but 200070 effort. But Ralph is the extreme epitome of the underrated person. No noise or complaining, just effort. Grad notes are supposed to be about your complete life at Selwyn, I would like to say something about the grade eleven Ralph: in my books, your car is fine. It moves, and 80070 of the time is loaded with girls! -A fellow No. 6. I5

MICHAEL DUNGAN In future times when Mike has slain his last dragon, and rides his moose down from his happy vicarage, he will look back to this page of Selwyn House '80. He will read this note, and with a tear and a chuckle remember his days at Selwyn House. Five years have passed, and this summer the mad Irishman goes back home. In sports, and leadership, Mike performed with heart and enthusiasm. In the classroom and halls, his monty-pythonic humour and insane wit have sent many rolling in laughter. His tender love for the moose species, his pink jogging pants, and his Casanova- esque manner will be remembered by his classmates. A truly unique individual, Selwyn House will never be blessed with another of his kind. -A friend When I think of grade seven, I think of the cold, barrack-like locker room we used to have downstairs. When I think of this, my graduating year, I think of how close five years have brought me to my friends and even, believe it or not, my teachers. This closeness is the result of many strange things: with some of my friends, I laughed in- sanely at getting six per cent on a physics test, how can I ever forget the awesome spirit and team psyche I enjoyed on various teams, football in particular. This closeness is what made my term at Selwyn so important. This could quite possibly sound very gay, but I love you all. GLENN FONG Happiness only comes to people who are too busy to seek it . Aim: To try and be same. At this point in my life, I can safely say that I am burning with desire to experience all the laughs, the cries, the sudden manifestations, and the overwhelming disillusionments, all waiting in store for me in the future. Why? Don't ask me I seem to think it right. Probable Destination: a chance for survival Know your stuff, know who you are stuffing, then stuff them with style -Golden Rule for Debators
